Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine melody or Fontana?

Just_a_girl

Hi Everyone,
Thinking of buying a Dolce Gusto Machine. Seen an offer on the Fontana for £37 or Melody 3 for £44. I think the Fontana has been discontinued, but it seems like a cracking deal, I like the shape, it will fit better in the kitchen, but then the Melody 3 is newer, bigger tank and has good reviews. Were not huge coffee drinkers, so its not going to be battered with use, but maybe a few times a week.

As I have never had one of these machines, I haven't got a clue, Does anyone have any advice? Do you have either?

Thanks in advance!

You want one that has play and select so you just select the size that matches the pods and it stops automatically whereas on some of the Gusto machine you have to do it manually which is a pain and can result in the wrong strength drink.

Each capsule tells you where to set the machine to.

Like this one that is half price at the moment http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_325004036480?CMP=SSH&tmcampid=28&tmad=c&sku=7460822&ci_src=18615224&ci_sku=7460822&placmp=SSH_7769505706_230227507_14181456067&gclid=CNqmvuKpksgCFcafGwodNgkGmA&gclsrc=aw.ds

You are welcome, I would hate to think that you had spend £40+ when you could of got the one I linked above or any other one with play and select for £50 and make life easier.

There should also be a £10 voucher in the box to go towards your first order of pods. I can't remember what the minimum spend was on it but either way you should get a tenner off.
